Cup of Cheer and Bo-keh Technique

Hello friends! I hope life is treating you well today! It sure is crazy busy...but I seem to thrive on being busy! I went in to work today to pay bills and do payroll...then I came home and played in my workshop with a dear girlfriend! We were even able to go out to lunch to celebrate her birthday, which is tomorrow! I wish I could go to lunch with ALL of my girlfriends to celebrate their special day! Anyway...I have a card that I made after she left. I sent my weekly email out today with the weekly deals and a "Make-It-Monday" showing the Bo-keh technique. I mentioned that I thought it would make a BEAUTIFUL Christmas card...so I made one!

The first thing I did when making this card was sponge Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler ink on a piece of Whisper White cardstock. After gathering up my 1/2", 3/4" and 1" circle punches and punching templates I sponged the different size circles in Whisper White craft ink. Be sure to overlap the circles and make some whiter by adding more ink. The sentiment I used is from the Cup of Cheer stamp set and I made the Poinsettia using the Festive Flower Builder punch. I used some threads from the White Jute and a Metal Rimmed Pearl to finish it off. I LOVE how it turned out. Oh...I almost forgot....I used the Curvy Corner Trio punch on the corners of a 3 X 3 piece of Whisper White cardstock (that I stamped the sentiment on), and I layered it onto a piece of 3 1/8" X 3 1/8" Cherry Cobbler piece of cardstock. That's it! SIMPLE...yet ELEGANT! You HAVE to give it a try! If you missed the directions...just let me know and I will email them! For future weekly projects subscribe to my mailing list (on the right).Well...the kids are coming home from school and we have to go to the gym for a workout! I'll be back in the morning so be sure to check back! Thanks for stopping by today...ENJOY the rest of your day!
